Pathfinder Trading System

Reiner · Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:00:38 +0000

Hi guys, this topic is for all discussions related to the Pathfinder trading system strategies. The system based on four components that work perfectly together. signalline – instrument trend line based on two smoothed averages (Wilder and Time Series) breakout levels – previous daily, weekly and monthly high/lows in combination with fast and slow averages as filters because not every breakout is profitable saisonal behavior – position size will be boost with a multiplier for each month depending on the historical seasonal behavior smart money and position management – grid orders, maximal position size monitoring, superordinate stop loss/take profit, trailing stop and maximum holding periods are used mechanisms The Pathfinder breakout logic works well for many instruments with 24 hour quotes such as DAX, DOW, FTSE, Hang Seng, NIKKEI in 4 hours timeframe. All versions are optimized for an 10k Euro account. Pathfinder strategies offer a statistical advantage but are of course not a holy grail and there is no guarantee to make money with it. The systems are optimized for historical data and historical gains are not a guarantee to be successful in the future. I strictly recommend to adjust the position sizes to your personal account size and try first in demo mode. The results in life trading will differ from the backtest results. I also recommend to start in life trading with a small account size. Anyone can use the programs for free and at their own risk. Pathfinder is my private and fully transparent algorithmic trading project exclusively implemented for ProRealTime 10.3. The status is experimental and I don’t trade all the systems presented here. I would also like to thank all members who have helped to improve the system with their contributions. Please find below the last released Pathfinder trading system versions for suitable instruments.

That sounds very cryptic Gianluca.

Can you please more specific? For example: where did you get it or bought it?

Tried to erase that filter, but still didn’t get it running.

thanks.

I’m fine too David. Did you overcome the turbulent first quarter?

@Gianluca and anyone else posting code, should ALWAYS post full working codes! If proprietary undisclosed code is embedded, please DO NOT post your strategy/indicator at all, since it will be useless to users. Thank you.

Ok, but is just a minor filter on a strategy and i forgot that part, is simple to delete it and repost again.

@Patrick, I was close to closing that gap, but then FTSE set me back again on Sept 6…

Hi guys,

I’m glad that the Pathfinder systems are still so popular :-).

One reason for this is that the systems are still working so well. The performance is remarkable although many indices are in a consolidation phase.

Attached you will find the results of the current version V7 of February 2018 (with the default settings). The settings are still valid and there is no need to change anything.

The results of the DOW version show the limits of automatic swing trading systems. There were several sharp and fast price declines which led to losses.

One advantage is that IG has reduced and will continue to reduce the minimum trade sizes (e.g. DAX, DOW, EuroStoxx) and thus the initial start risk can be reduced.

Once MTF is available in life mode, I will check if the new functionality has any advantages for the Pathfinder systems (e.g exit the positions in lower time frames).

Best regards,

Reiner

@dajvop,

It is quite an achievement that you reached that level by early september.

Do you still just run automatic codes or also side trades?

@wp01, only automatic. I’m not cool enough to do live trades 🙂

Hi all

Thanks a lot for these very efficient trading systems Herr Reiner

If I remember well, you are from Fft, if I go there (christmas market or other reason), I will be glad to offer you a Bier (or Glühwein, Apfelwein , Schnaps, …) 😉

Good results with HS, Dax, Pall, STXE except Dow

In France, IG has created 2 status for their customers : “pro” with reduced levels and “private” with much higher levels.

In the last case, it’s very difficult to combine several strats at the same time. For pro, it is as before

Have I missed something with DOW? I have been running v7 since Jan 15 and only HS has outperformed it for me.

Right… I am not running the latest version since I thought the one from Jan 5 was better. Nevermind.
